Usefull and Works - needs refresh

The app is useful and works, old reviews are mostly not accurate anymore.Only complaint is that it „looks & feels“ somewhat rusty. Also the Maps View is not standard with a slowly moving POI marking your location instead of a blue dot... confusing.

Great App

What more could we want from the post? It would have been nice to see this App 5 years ago. But, true to their roots in snail mail, the postal team ask... What's the rush? Our boss didn't assemble a committee yet.
